Abstract
In his capacity as Prince of Transylvania, Michael the Brave summoned the Transylvanian Diet on four occasions, the final convocation ultimately failing to materialize. The first three assemblies were duly constituted and formally affirmed his accession to the princely dignity. As the Diet functioned as the central deliberative and legislative body of the principality, representatives of the Habsburg Monarchy repeatedly sought either to forestall its convocation or to secure their participation in its proceedings. Michael the Brave, however, systematically precluded imperial agents from attending the sessions, notwithstanding the fact that his tenure in Transylvania was marked by sustained diplomatic engagement−both official and informal−with the Habsburg court.
